Where and How to get the Uganda Visa

You will require a Uganda visa if you are not a citizen of Uganda as a
pre-requisite before entering the country.A visa is a clearance
permitting you to proceed to visit another country.﻿

Uganda Government has introduced an online visa application system that is operational beginning this month (July 2016), phasing out the old system.

In statement issued by Uganda Tourism Board (UTB), persons intending to come to Uganda on holiday, business, study, visit and medical are required to apply and obtain the visa online.

The applications should be filled online at https://visas.immigration.go.ug/.

The decision taken on the application would then be sent electronically through the email provided by the applicant.

If the applicant is approved, an approval letter would be sent as an attachment to the email provided.

"Print it out and present it together with a valid passport /travel document at the port of entry," the statement reads in part.

Information about documents required in the online visa application process can also be found on the website provided.

The types of visa that applicants seek for include, Multiple-Entry, Diplomatic and Official, Ordinary and East Africa Tourist Visa (multiple entry valid for 90 days to Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda) Transit.

However travelers throughout the month of July will still be able to get visas on arrival in the country, though they will go through the electronic application process at the port of entry.

This will only apply in the month of July, after which all visa applications shall be online.

Uganda Visa Update July 2016

Uganda uses a visa policy of reciprocity, meaning that if your country requires a visa for Ugandan citizens to enter,
then you will also require a visa to enter Uganda.

Use the tips and information on this page to help you help you flawlessly acquire a Uganda Visa.

What you will find in this Uganda Visa Guide

Uganda Visa Requirements

Passports : You need a valid passport, one that is expiring at least 6 months from the date you enter Uganda

Sufficient Funds: No amount is currently specified by the immigration but having a Credit Card and a return ticket are good evidence to convince the immigration officer that you have enough money with you.

Return / Onward Tickets: This is your evidence to prove that you have enough money on you, however, if you posses a one-way ticket, be ready to do some explaining to the immigration officer who might think you do not have enough funds to buy a flight out the country.

You will therefore need to present a visitor's pass for your next destination outside Uganda to avoid messing up your trip. You may actually have to buy a return ticket to your country before being allowed entry into Uganda, therefore, if you plan to leave the country overland, then organize your trip with an airline where a refund can be given for the unused ticket and at such dates and in search countries where you will be able to access the refund.

International Health Certificate: You may sometimes be requested to present this document to show that have received a yellow fever vaccine shot.
